May not be too big if two plutonium guys were to meet there though.

I agree! Wnt-1 truly is worth gold, we wouldn't survive without this crucial developmental hormone :)))))))))))))

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

You should relabel it "Periodically, I want gold but the A is silent."

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Well, how does it feel to wnt?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago
